My Project

I have the privilege of teaching an incredible group of young mathematicians at my elementary school in Boston. Our students’ curiosity, resilience, and joy for learning inspire me daily. What I love most about my students is their determination to grow, their creativity in problem-solving, and their ability to support one another as a learning community.

To help our students reach their full potential, I'm seeking support to provide essential organizational tools, such as notebooks, folders, whiteboards, and pouches, to empower them to take ownership of their learning.

Notebooks and folders will allow students to track their progress, organize their thoughts, and reflect on their learning over time. Whiteboards will allow our students to work through problems collaboratively and take academic risks in a low-pressure, hands-on way. Pouches will help keep their materials neat and accessible, fostering responsibility and minimizing distractions.

With these tools, my students will be better equipped to engage deeply with math, build confidence in their abilities, and develop lifelong habits for success. Thank you for supporting their journey!
